Default From Corsa Indy tooo????

what would be a nice carry over from the 3 year old Corsas to another exaust? The Ghl's sound nice on the computer, but what do you guys think?

I don't know johnny, Its just that if I could get a better sound , well you know..I'm just , I guess, trying too jump on the constant technological change of exausts!!!! I mean it is kind of old, no problems though, still shines!!!!!!! I guess i'm like lean manufactoring, continually trying too improve!!!!!!!!

Let me know what you decide on and how you like it. You may persuade me to mix it up a bit as well.

I went from Corsa Indy's to GHL's, and couldn't be happier. I liked the Corsa's, but there's no comparison in terms of sound IMO. The GHL's are much deeper overall, and still scream at WOT. Fit and finish are excellent as well...a very good upgrade! :D

Come, Come NoNitro! Corsa technology is representative of cutting edge technology, even 3 years later. You just can't over complicate matters here now. Disposing of as much exhaust as possible with least undesirable harmonic residual noise, all with a resulting aesthetic exhaust note. The Indy's are pure music. You can expect Corsa's on top of it. you already know about the rest. Having incredible craftsmenship, fit/ finish, customer service, etc.

Hey, it's your money, who am I to say. But it's the forum, so here's WFO's 2 1/2 cents worth.

If you already have this sweet system, maybe spend your money on headers, high flow cats and an x-pipe. Maybe add a mild cam and finish off with the LS1 edit. These will definetly open up the exhaust choir.

:D

Hey if you haven't already, ditch the cats and see how the corsas sound. Maybe thats the sound your shooting for. I did this about a week ago and man did my car get loud. Contemplating putting on a high flow cat to tone it down a bit.

I'm definitely happy with the LG headers; I switched to them from FLPs, and picked up 30+ rwtq below about 3500 RPM (which was my goal in making the switch). The top end isn't that much different (rwhp and rwtq are each about 10 higher for the LG's than the FLP's), but you can feel the extra torque down low.

I went with the 3.73s instead of 3.90s or 4.10s because I think it's the best setup for daily driving and road courses. If I was more into the dragstrip I'd have definitely gone 4.10s, but since I'm not I preferred the 3.73s.

Good luck!
Collin

lean manufacturing means doing more with less.... less overhead.. fewer chiefs..... ISO 9000 and 14000 means continually improve... it isnt lean to buy another exhaust sytem if the one you have isnt broken... your not going to get any more horse power..., the corsa's are guaranteed for life... but if you want to help the economy.. that's a different story... sell you 900 dollars exhaust sytem for 300 dollars.., go out and spend another 800... and maybe ... just maybe .. you will miss those corsa's...I understand the need for change too... I know every month or so I change my underware... only because I feel better after... so do others.
